Classic Baked Ziti with Ricotta
Tender chickpea ziti and lean ground turkey baked in a savory marinara sauce, topped with a creamy ricotta dollop and melted mozzarella for a bubbly, golden finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea ziti
5 oz ground turkey 93% lean
0.5 cup marinara sauce no sugar added
1 cup zucchini
2 tbsp part-skim ricotta cheese
0.5 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package directions to keep it al dente, then drain.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the ground turkey and diced zucchini until the turkey is fully browned and the zucchini is tender.
Stir in the marinara sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, allowing the flavors to meld for 3 minutes.
Fold the cooked pasta into the turkey and sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish.
Dollop the ricotta cheese over the top and sprinkle evenly with the shredded mozzarella.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are slightly crisp.
